I'm guessing there are a lot of people who would want one of these ;-)

Very nice. I learned just appending an e isn't enough to not get kicked out of a forum. Wasn't this one, of course.

Did someone actually watch the video? It is pretty interesting (well check the references in the video)

Hello!

Yes, of course - a must for a Curta-fan and owner of 2 3D printers :-) But I'm afraid I will have to stick with my real Curta for some time to come because it will be a massive effort to print and finish all those tiny parts. Assembly on the other hand will be fun for sure and will leave no question open about how the Curta really works.

Here is a link to instructables which shows the assembly: http://www.instructables.com/id/Build-a-3D-Printed-Curta-Calculator/

NB: Also, of course, the really special thing about the Curta is it's incredibly small size. Making it three times as big takes away a lot form it I'm afraid.
